Guedon added: “The prince had the park to himself early morning and after the official closing time at 11pm.”

The park was open to visitors for the rest of the time, with the prince allowing crowds to meet some of the extra characters he had shipped in.

The resort opened in 1992 and is made up of Disneyland Park, Walt Disney Studios, Disney Village and the hotels. Disneyland Park, like Florida's Magic Kingdom, is modeled after the original in California with many of the same rides: Peter Pan's Flight, Pirates of the Caribbean, It's A Small World, Haunted Mansion/Phantom Manor, Thunder Mountain, etc.
